                            Doug Nelson Honored

Douglas T. Nelson, Major General, USAF (Ret) was inducted into The Arizona Aerospace Foundation’s Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame on Saturday, April 3, 2004.

This was a state-mandated program administered by The Pima Air and Space Museum, Tucson, Arizona, and its Foundation. It is the highest honor that can be bestowed by The Foundation and is reserved for those who have made outstanding contributions to aviation and to Arizona. The induction ceremony and dinner was held on April 3 at the Pima Air and Space Museum, 7000 East Valencia Road, Tucson. It is notable that of all the Honorees, only Generals Nelson and Haupt were associated with the SR-71 program. 

On April 2-3, 2004, the museum also hosted the eighth SR-71 Blackbird Symposium, “Keeping The Spirit Of The SR-71 Blackbird Alive,” to coincide with Doug’s induction.
